>>89895927She was childhood friend's with Sleeping Beauty's father. He cut off her wings to gain power or some shit, became king, and had a child. She cursed the girl then watched her grow up under the care of the utterly incompetent dairies, met her and grew to love her. Then for reasons she was unable to remove her own curse, and when Sleeping Beauty falls asleep, her terrible father doesn't care. The Prince Sleeping Beauty met once kisses her, but she doesn't wake up. Maleficent does after killing her father and she wakes up.
I mean, it's not a horrible movie, but they do their very best to make her as not-evil as possible while making the King a complete bastard.
